He was referred to me by a legal clinic.
I have been on long-term disability since 2014. I am a 60 year old male with serious mental and physical issues. My insurer is a large banking institution. My relationship with them has always been acrimonious. I have been through hell with them and almost lost everything. I went almost one year with no money. I retained a lawyer and finally won my case. That was in April 2014. I stopped working April 2013. This time they cut me off in my opinion to try and force me to go on CPP Disability. I had not stated that I would not apply, I just wanted some questions answered first. I had asked for copies of a contract, and was ignored. This was on a lawyer's advice. The lawyer who referred me to Michael Jordan. December 27, was when I had received my last payment. I managed to get them to pay me finally in early March, by sending them written confirmation of my previous requests. However they wanted a phone interview. I am unable to phone anyone some days due to anxiety, panic disorder, depression etc. Much less a large insurance company who has become my nemesis, unfortunately. I feel that all they want to do is stop paying me, and I have learned to mistrust them. I am afraid to say anything, as they will pounce on it as a reason to cut me off. So, thank God, I contacted Michael Jordan, who offered to have the phone interview done in his office. a three-way phone call.
To put this into perspective, I showed up at his office, exhausted, with no sleep for three days. I was delirious, panicky and out of my mind. My knuckles were cut and swollen. I was unshaven. I was terrified.
Michael immediately calmed me. He was nice. I felt safe in his office. It was a long, anxious, horrible train ride into downtown Toronto. I almost had to get off the train as I thought I would pass out.
Well, the insurance company caved. I had never heard them so agreeable, and all of a sudden they were "there to help me!"
It was as if the cavalry had come to my rescue. Relief! Finally. I felt like I had a powerful ally...and I do. I was in actually a bit in awe of him. His confident demeanor, phone manner, poise. When I was leaving he was concerned for me and asked if I was "okay getting home." When I made it home, there was a follow up email from Michael waiting for me.
I highly recommend Michael Jordan. Now I can concentrate on healing, and not some life-altering catastrophe. Thank you.

The first thing that struck me, was that he answered the telephone call himself. He provided a free consultation immediately without having to schedule an appointment. At my time of crisis, this was invaluable. Other lawyers that I contacted before him, required me to make an appointment for a call back consultation. Of course, I didn't bother. Michael was very professional yet very personable. Instantly I knew that he was very skilled, passionate and sincere about helping his clients reach a good settlement. He went above and beyond the typical scope of a lawyer's service to earn my trust, he replied promptly to all my other questions and concerns. My claim ended up resolving on it's own with the Insurance company and much to my surprise, Michael seemed genuinely pleased for me. No strings attached.
I would not hesitate to retain his services in future if needed. I highly recommend the services of this great lawyer. Folks, Michael Jordan is the real deal!! read less - 3/06/2019 

Wow!!!
The assistance I received from Michael Jordan on my case was totally outstanding. I can’t say enough about his excellent service.

For instance, I was expecting to leave a voice mail when I reached out initially, but it was actually him, who picked the phone up himself, and even on a weekend he did that.
He offered a free consultation straight away. He was empathetic and supportive, it was such a relief to tell my story to someone who listened, and understood, and could do something about it. Then and later, he translated the issues and texts into easy to understand language, and laid everything out clearly for me, carefully tailoring it for my specific situation. At each step of the way, he allowed me to feel empowered, informed and supported. And best of all, we had an excellent outcome.
The day I found him, a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders.
I would be delighted to recommend him to anyone who is struggling with a disability claim. read less - 1/21/2020

From the beginning, he was very personable, understanding, and easy to talk to, and the more I interacted with him, I knew I was dealing with an intelligent man who was empathetic to my situation. My case (unfortunately) dragged on for almost a year, but during that whole time Michael was always available when I needed him, and throughout this period he remained supportive and kept me up to date with everything that was going on. As with previous testimonials I would 100% recommend/refer Michael and his legal services. read less - 7/29/2019
